SYNOPSIS Two rich London bachelors. Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley, arrive with the letter's sister to take up resi- dence at the Netherfield Park Es- tate in Mcryton Village. Since mar- riage is a girl's only career in the 1800'E. Mrs. Bennet, mother of the five marriageable daughters â€" Eliz- abeth. Jane, Mary. Lydia and Kitty â€" is ;" a turmoil of excitement. De- spite Vr. Bennet's protest, slie cam- paic-s vigorously to win the bach- elors for witty Elizabeth and beau- tiful Jane. Jane and Bingley fall in love at first sight; but Oarcy's ar- rogant pride prejudices Elizabeth against him. She is further incens- ed when he deliberately snubs Mr. Wickham, friend of her sister Lyci- ia. Miss Bingley invites Jane to visit her. CHAPTER THREE Target Practice The great and fateful day wlieii Jane was to visit Miss Bingley at Netherfield Park, dawned giay, cold and weighted with raiu c!ou:is. Ttie weather affordeii Mrs. Bonnet a brilliant idea. "Jane shall ride over on horse- back. Then, if it rains, she won't be able to come home after din- nw. They'll have to keep her for the night â€" and there's really poth- ing like wet weatiier for engage- ments'" iSp. or. horseback went Jane: not only d:;l she remain tor the night, she sTsyed for tUei week. Her ex- posuif" to the rain resulted in a cold that confined her to bed at -Vetaerfield Park. Audi- if stream- ing eyes, red nose, sneezes and wBeezes are not the things of which romance is made, Charles Bingley seeni.e(i totally unaware of it. Re'.i no«e or no. he was enchant- ed with her. visiting the sick room at every opportunity. His delielit was as nothing compared to Mis. Bennet's. "Mr. Bennett" she. cried to lier husband as she poured their bivak- fast coffee.. "I've just received a note from Mr. Bingley. He asks per- nKssion to give a gai-den pai'ty and ball for Jane as soon as she's well." She sighed. "Such a happy idea of mine to send her off iu the raiu!" Mr. Bennet emerged from behind his copy of the Timv*. "But to Jane must go all the credit for having caught the cold, my dear," he observed sarcasti- cally. The Clergyman Rival Certainly. Bingley hoped Jane's visit would go on roreve.r. But Mrs. Bennet, a general marshalling forc- es c.fr victory. recalleKl Jane iov the one reason that would whet Bingley s jealousy, heighten his ar- dor and goad him into a declar- ation. She place<l a rival in his path. Cousin Collins, the clergyman to whom the Bennet estate was en- tailed, arrived for a visit. Elizabeth was dispatched to fetch Jane un- der the pretext that hor sister must meet the male and marriageable relativt* who was thi* Bennet hou<e gMest. Poor Mr. Bingley reacte<i to the news in the manner hoped for. While he- did not quite declare himself, his attentions to and con- cern for Jane reached a peak that Infuriated his sister and sent P.ir- cys eyebrows on the rise.

At first meeting", he set his heart on Elizabeth. Mrs. Bennet, determined that one of her daughters should marry hi-m in order to keep the estate wltli- in the family, was in a fever of joy â€" until Elizabeth declared witii finality that if she died unmar- ried, she'd never be Mrs. Collins. Charlotte Lucas, her dearest friend, came to her rescue. Mr. Collins, finding himself the object of Charlotte's concern, promptly forgot Elizabeth. Charlotte was lovely, he decided; a bit old â€" on the late twentyish side â€" practically a spinster â€" ^but a lovely girl! Jane's Success Mrs. Bennet drowned this defeat iu the glow of Bingley's continued attentions to Jane â€" attentions climaxed by the garden party hon- oring her comiplete recovery. It was a splended party! Mrs. Bennet could have hoped for no- thing finer! Mr. Bingley had eyes for no one exc-ept Jane! It proved once and for all, that she was right in her campai^ru. Would Jane be basking in the glow of Bingley's admiration if Mrs. Blmi- net had listened to her husband? In the future, that worthy, hiding behind a mass of uuiutelligiible tomes and treatises, had better leave such matters to her! So great was her delight iu Bing- ley and Jane that she closed her tyes to the mad caperings of Kitty and Lydia who flirted outrageous- ly with uniformed officers; that she lost sight of pedantic Mary's woeful shortcomings as a beauty; that she even forgot to scold Eliz- abeth for being as coolly a'.oof as her father. (To Be Continued) Salting Down Your Beans Big Hats Replace *SiUy LitUe Ones* May Be of Fur; Models of Leopard Are Most Alluring They Will Keep All Winter If Properly Done Beans should be salted down In large stone or glass jars or any other larger receptacles. Plenty of salt must be used or the beans may become slimy and useless. Allow a good 1 lb. salt to 3 lbs. beans. Have \he beans young and tender, and see that none have formed any hard inner skin. String them, and while the small ones can be left whole, the larger ones may be sliced. CHOOSE EM YOUNG. TENDER Sprinkle a layer of salt at the bottom of the jar, and cover with a layer of beans mixed with a little salt. Proceed in layers until the jar is filled, pressing down each layer with the hands and having salt as top layer. Le:ive for two or three days for the beans to sink, and fill up again with layers of beans and salt. Allow to sink again and fill up till the jar is tightly pack- ed with a good layer of salt on top. Seal the jar tightly. You can do this with a cork that has been dipped in melted paraffin wax; run a little wax over the top. If the jar has too wide a mouth for a cork to fit, fasten over with a bladder or several thicknesses of parchment, .and cover to prevent evaporation. Store in a cool piace. noN'T SO.\K OVERNIGHT When you cook the beans, wash them well and soak for two hours in warm water; rinse and cook iu the usual way for about half an hour, but use no added salt. If the beans are found to be salty after the first trial, give them a preliminary boll up after soaking, throw the water away iind boi! as usual. Note.â€" If the beans are soaked overnight before cooking, they may tend to becom* tough.

The big hat may be a fur hat or it may be one that gives the effect of a little girl with her mother's hat on, but fashion haa said that is the way to look, tall, 1940. But tlie small hat may be so interesting and so capable of hold- ing its own in the fashion scene that it, too, will add variety to the hat world. The leopard will give up his skin to the milliner this year, and the hats she already has evolv- ed from them are so alluring that any person with an old leopard skin may as well get it out and go to the milliner with all speed. TOP-HE.VVY AS SUNFLOWERS Green and leopard Is an unbeat- able combination, daring to chal- lenge brown and leopard. Beige, cream and putty shades will take on brown furs. Brown with these shades will be green's rival. Big hats, pins of fur, fur rolls, fur chin- straps and fur bandeaux are a few of the ways of using fur on hats this season.

Naturalness Is 1910 Keynote This Fall's Smart Girls Are Passing Up "Sophisticated" Effects â€" Fresh, Unspo led Look In Favor The smartest girl â€" fall 1940 style â€" is a perfectly groomed, natural- looking beauty with shorter hair, shorter nails and shorter skirts. Long bobs are not so long. Claw- like, pointed nails aj-e considered old hat. Pinafores and the knee- length sports skirt, worn with long- er socks and requiring smooth, white knees, are style news of the hour. Both the shorter skirts and the pinafores give their wearers a fresh, unspoiled look with which heavily made up eyes and siren nails would be incongruous. This fall's debutante will try to look like a glorified version of herself â€" not like a movie star or her sophisti- cated older sister. She'll consider soap and water her best friends, using them to clean her hair once a week as well as for a daily, tub or shower and twice daily face and neck clean- ings. Ultra chic is the new "cap" coif- fure which one of the best hair- dressers recommends especially for college. The hair is cut quite short, the crown left smooth and straight, with the ends all the way around finished in little ringlets.

CT-U First Marmalade In Days of Henry 8 We use oranges to make mar- malade, but the first marmalade was made of quinces, and th« word is derived from the Latin name of the quince "malomel- lum." Marmalade is first heard of in the reign of Henry VIIL In a letter of this ifing to Lady Lisle, he "most heartily thank- eth her good ladyship for her marmarlo." From another letter of Lady Lisle we learn that th« king wrote, asking for a fresh supply of the delicacy. Fepys enjoyed marmalade, and writes in his famous Diary: "After a good dinner, left my wife and Mrs. Hunt making a marmalett of uuince."
